Rose-breasted Grosbeaks

The rainy weather hasn’t affected what seems to be an annual appearance of Rose-breasted Grosbeaks at our backyard feeders the first week in May.

This year, we’ve had at least 3 males and 1 observed female. (The males have the rose color breasts, the females got short-changed on appearance, with no vivid colors but clearly a ‘gross beak”.)
